Restaurants near University of Georgia Performing Art Center

First time dining in there. All was very good. Food, drinks and service. We will definitely return

This was our second time dining at Osteria Olio and it’s been a wonderful experience each visit. This time my wife and I were there for our anniversary dinner. When we arrived, they seated us and had a candle and an anniversary card, signed by the entire staff, already on our table. We got the Focaccia appetizer and there are no words to describe how good it was. We ordered the Ziti Alla Vodka and the Spaghetti Alla Bolognese for our entrees and split each one. As my wife put it, it was the best pasta she’s ever eaten in her life, and I couldn’t agree more. We ordered the Tiramisu and the Chocolate Hazlenut Semifreddo for dessert, and it was absolutely amazing. Our waitress, Marina, was so kind and very knowledgeable of the menu. She timed every course perfectly and I never once felt like we were being rushed. The rest of the staff is welcoming, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. I could not recommend Osteria Olio.

A great spot for date . Food was great . Drinks good . The lava cake was exceptional.

Amazing experience. I had to bring my student group of over 15 kids and they were patient and efficient. We were in and out in about an hour and a half. Pizza, pasta, appetizers, and dessert were delicious. Highly recommend even for large groups

We are VERY sad tho hear that the new landlords have informed Cafe on Lumpkin that they can no longer remain in their current space. This is very disheartening. I really hope they are able to continue in a different location, and I hope the new owner of the building understands how disappointed the Athens community feels about the closure of Cafe on Lumpkin.
